The Genomic Repairman is currently a Ph.D. student who escaped from the deep south, and studies DNA damage and repair through biochemical and genetic approaches. He intends to use pine away about his scientific interests and rant about the things (and there are lots of them) that annoy him.

are playing a huge role (along with diversity initiatives) in getting women interested in science. I think its awesome that female scientists are posting about what they do, their successes, their hardships, and motivating a new generation of younger female scientists. So I just want to throw out a big high five to all you FemSciBloggers and here is a shortlist of the female science bloggers that I have been reading for a while:

Ouch...

Anyway, Scicurious of Neurotic Physiology is cool too. I think she's aiming at being the next Mary Roach! She is a prolific blogger and advocate of neuroscience.

MicrobiologistXX combines her love of microbiology with a wonderfully jaundiced postdoc eye and a brand new, shiny, "so-new-it's-still-got-that-new-baby-smell" baby.

Challenge is a non-US former postdoc and Close Personal FriendTM. She writes about science and living abroad, amongst other things.

And finally, for now, is Alyssa of Applie Pie & The Universe a former lab astronomer trying to work the bigger picture (I made a LOL!)

Oh, and finally, finally, the inimitable, Cath at VWXYNot. Cath is a former cancer researcher now working in Canada as a Research coordinator/Project manager/Grant Writer type thing (a bit like me)

And last, but not last is Jenny Rohn at Mind the Gap on the Nature Network. Jenny is a former postdoc-turned successful journal editor-turned back to postdoc, who also writes and commentates for the media (TV, radio, newspaper) on Science/Culture events in and around London, England. On top of all that Jenny coined the phrase and built the website and now maintains the Lablit world. Oh yeah, and she's a published novelist. As role models go she's pretty fucking awesome.
